What It Do 32<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I turned 30, the one question I got the most was “soo..how do you feel?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer was usually always the same: “umm…ya know \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udfff\u200d\u2640\ufe0f ..the same way I did yesterday at 29.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, two years later, I think I finally have an answer: I feel…comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not comfortable in a way where I’m complacent and don’t want to grow. Eww no, that’ll never be the case. Comfortable with things that come along with getting older. Let me explain…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfortable being Uncomfortable <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change is hard. We’ve all heard that, read Instagram posts about it, and probably even preached it to our friends, but experiencing it ourselves?! Whew shit. That’s a whole different story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being in the “real world” and working in corporate America for 8 years. I decided that the career path I was on, was no longer for me. Soo, at 30 years old, I went back to school for my 2nd bachelor’s degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first uncomfortable part was making the decision to go back to school. I knew I wanted to go into journalism, (a field I had zero real experience in) but I had gotten used to my job and had a routine that I was comfortable with, so taking the leap was not easy for me. Then came doing both school and work. When I was in college the first time, I worked on campus so I was used to doing both, but this time around was a different beast. My last semester in school was probably the hardest semester out of both times I was in college. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of most of the semester being virtual because of COVID-19, I was also working well over 40 hours a week (of course clients are extra needy when you have a lot of stuff going on- it only makes sense, right? lol) , had an internship, was a full time student taking 15 credit hours, had a project due every week for one of my classes, had to meet deadlines for the school newspaper, was recovering from a minor injury due to a car accident, aaaannd to top it all off *drumroll please* was dealing with the breakup of my nearly 4 year relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mood:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buut, I made it. I don’t know how, but I did. I know the kazillion talks I had with God definitely helped. All the times I complained about it being difficult he was probably like <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“yep..I get it. It sucks, but I got you, so stop complaining please.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Graduation” was interesting to say the least. Sitting in my apartment by myself *Drake voice* \ud83c\udfb5 sweatpants, hair tied, chilling with no makeup on \ud83c\udfb5 (but seriously, that’s what I was doing), drinking wine and eating mini cinnamon rolls, waiting for them to call my name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When my name was called, I said “yay..go me!” Then, I cried. Not 1 or 2 tears. I balled my eyes out. Tears of joy, relief, gratitude, and just being really damn proud of myself. I graduated with a 3.9 GPA and departmental honors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mood: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now that it’s been a few months since I’ve graduated, I’m still trying to make the transition into a completely new field. I’m still working my full time job ( because ya know…bills and stuff) but in the meantime, I’ve started this new journey of an entertainment website, blog, and will soon have a YouTube page, so I’m excited to see where that takes me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea what God was trying to teach me within my last semester of school. Faith? Patience? Time management? Trust? All of the above? To be honest, I’ve gotten a lot better in those areas (definitely still a work in progress though lol)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure it will come to me at some point. Maybe I’ll really<\/em> get it when I’m faced with another uncomfortable situation. I can think back to that semester and be more comfortable in the uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
